Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 374: Chapter 251: He Said He’s Here

The Second Priest glanced at him and frowned slightly, ”Swallow the God Stone and squeeze out a few drops of blood on the altar, and it’s done.”

Liu Chang’s heart tightened, did he really have to eat that thing?

But feeling the threatening gazes around him, Liu Chang could only take out the bright red crystal.

Including his own, there were three in total.

”What is this thing?”

A clear voice came from in front of him, and the young man in casual black shirt had somehow already stood before him.

Liu Chang was just a little nervous, but the Second Priest’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Cautiously stepping back half a step, he moved closer to the Death God.

”You have so many, mind giving me one?”

Su Huan asked with a smile, but before Liu Chang could answer, he naturally took one from his hand and returned to his original position.

Seeing this, the Second Priest hesitated to speak and gave Su Huan a deep look.

Su Huan examined the so-called God Stone with interest; it contained pan-energy fluctuations, but was much cloudier than a Pan-energy Crystal, as if mixed with something else, and he couldn’t figure it out at the moment, so he threw it to Shu Wei behind him.

On the other side, Liu Chang swallowed the remaining two God Stones, then cut his hand with a knife and squeezed the blood on the altar edge.

”Is this how you activate the altar?”

Su Huan asked curiously.

The High Priest nodded, ”Yes, only the blood of a grace-bearer can activate it.”

”Is that so.”

Su Huan’s eyelids twitched slightly.

Feeling the energy continuously draining from his body and the amplified perception of pan-energy, he used Yu Yue’s ”Shared Acoustic Field” to transmit, ”Activation requires pan-energy level two and above, consumes a lot.”

While recording, Shu Wei asked, ”Is blood a necessary condition?”

Su Huan pondered for a moment, ”It should be a catalyst; with this bit of blood, it can draw out the energy within these bodies.”

”What about the God Stone?”

”I can’t see any relation to the priests.”

Thinking it over, Su Huan directly asked the High Priest, ”Has the God Stone always existed?”

Ah Duo replied, ”It’s something the Second Priest came up with, said to enhance the power of grace-bearers, so his subordinates are stronger than ours...”

”In his room, there was a sound of crystals breaking; perhaps it’s this thing.”

Yu Yue’s voice appeared in Su Huan’s ear.

”Oh~”

This was getting interesting.

Su Huan chuckled, but just a bit.

Meanwhile, a figure was being led up from the mountain.

The Second Priest abruptly turned his head, eyes shining brightly, urgently saying, ”Let her come over.”

The crowd parted, and a figure wrapped entirely in a military raincoat walked in, sweeping cold, slender vertical pupils around, suddenly widening upon seeing Su Huan’s group.

Slightly surprised, ”The Conductor?”

Su Huan turned his head with a smile, waving, ”Kitty, you came quickly.”

The Second Priest’s expression froze, face quickly darkening.

He didn’t expect the two to know each other.

But such a good Death God candidate couldn’t be missed.

It didn’t matter if they knew each other or not, participating in the ritual meant belonging to him.

Not even your own parents would make a difference!

”How many God Stones have you obtained?”

The Second Priest asked coldly.

The mongoose pulled out a handful of different-sized red crystals from its bosom, and because its hands were too small, some fell to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone froze.

The man with the slanted eyes twitched his mouth, ”How many is this damn thing?”

Que’Er sensed it, stammering, ”F-forty-six, many are second or even third fusion.”

”In just half a day, killed over forty?”

Their voices were low, but still reached the ears of those around.

Looking at the mongoose’s timid appearance, everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Second Priest took a deep breath, his tone trembling, ”Quick, eat them all and squeeze some blood on the altar.”

”Once you complete the ritual, you might gain the next stage of grace; when I become the High Priest, you can replace the Third Priest!”

What New Eden, what Third Priest, how glorious was becoming a general of an armed train?

The mongoose looked at the Conductor behind.

The latter bowed slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

”Wait a minute!”

A loud shout came from the bottom of the mountain.

A stocky man ran up the mountain, panting, holding a gun in one hand and carrying a cloth bag in the other; from afar, he threw the bag over, and its contents scattered on the ground, revealing a pile of red crystals.

The mongoose looked at the crystals, eyes widening. Though not counted, there were definitely more than their own.

Could he be losing?

As for the Second Priest, he nearly reached Hong Wen, looking at Old Wu’s pancake face with more emotion than seeing a lover.

He thought the mongoose had found a treasure, but unexpectedly there was a master!

”It’s over, a tie.”

Seeing Su Huan know the mongoose, thinking he had gained a great ally, Ah Duo’s horn on his head tinged pink with excitement.

But with Old Wu’s appearance, he slumped again.

”If you have any tricks, use them quickly, or it’ll be too late...”

Su Huan ignored her, instead whispering to Shu Wei.

”Director Xu agrees with your hypothesis, the danger is minimal, we can try, as for the red crystals, they should be the Maker’s product.”

”Alright, let’s give it a shot.”

Su Huan walked towards the altar, stepping onto the first step.

”What are you doing?!”

The Third Priest shouted in anger.

Instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

Seeing Su Huan ascending the steps, a commotion erupted.

Ah Duo anxiously said, ”You’re not the High Priest yet, you can’t go up!”

The Second Priest turned and saw Su Huan already on the third step, his eyes reddening with anger; that was his position!

”Outsider, you’re blaspheming!”

The High Priest was also dazed, ”The ritual hasn’t started, going up now is useless.”

In the span of two sentences, Su Huan reached the top, unceremoniously sitting in the chair, disdainfully curling his lip; this chair was far inferior to his orange cat sofa.

”It’s just blood, no problem.”

Su Huan casually waved his hand, his lips curling involuntarily at the thought of what was to come.

The giraffe looked at the Conductor’s lips, suddenly feeling a pang of unease.

In a few steps, he leapt up the altar, crouching behind Su Huan.

The mongoose and Old Wu reacted quickly too.

Seeing the crowd filling the altar, the Second Priest shouted in rage, ”Kill these blasphemers for me.”

Su Huan looked at the crowd squeezing behind him, a bit speechless.

”Useless, have He Jie create some commotion.”

Shu Wei tensed, ”He said he’s here.”

Bai Lu asked anxiously, ”What is here?”

”Boom—”

A shadow faster than lightning suddenly flashed by.

The three hundred people preparing to rush the altar suddenly exploded.

Blood, bones, rocks, plants...

Everything at the epicenter was equalized in the explosion.

The terrifying shockwave swept through everything around, even the stone altar was shattered.

Ah Duo’s fur stood on end with fright, grabbing the High Priest beside him and rushing towards the altar, ignoring any notion of blasphemy, hiding directly behind Su Huan.

”The power is quite something.”

In the Conductor’s jet-black eyes, a small spark bloomed like a mandrake flower in full bloom, devouring the crowd.

Pressure mixed with stones came sweeping again.

”Just a bit off-target.”

A hair-raising lightning barrier and vacuum appeared before the altar.

Using the Conductor as a demarcation line, in front of the altar, it was earth-shattering.

Behind the altar, it was calm.

All sound was blocked by Yu Yue.

A moment later, the smoke dissipated slowly.

A pit 1.2 meters deep and 50 meters in radius appeared before the altar.

Various charred limbs slowly seeped out dark red liquid in the pit.

The giraffe looked at the pit beneath his feet, numbed all over.

”Is that how a grenade launcher is used?”
